'Way out in the West with a gun in his hand
                              D                G

[Verse 4]
G
It was on one black night when poor Billy died
   D                        G
He said to his friend, "I'm not satisfied
                                     C    G
There's twenty one men I have put bullets through
                                            D G
Sheriff Pat Garrett gonna make twenty two!"
 
[Verse 5]
G
Now this is how Billy the Kid met his fate
    D                           G
The brick moon was shinin', the hour was late
                                        C    G
Shot down by Pat Garrett, Bill said his best friend
G
The outlaw's life has reached his sad end.
